knitted silk Portiercs.

Silk rags for portieres must be woven in a
very particular manner, and it is not easy to
get this kind of weaving done outside of a
large city Any one. however, can knit hand
some portieres or curtains of silk. Cut the
silk in strips about half an inch wide and sew
together. If you have but little material
that is bright and fresh in color, it will pay
to dye some Of the old stuff, in order that the
curtains may not look too somber and faded.
After the strips are wound into balls like car
pet rags, get pair of bone knitting needles
about three-quarterS of yard long and as
large as your finger, and then knit the plain

Timber soaked by water.

1t has been ascertained that timber which
has been floated in water for a considerable
time is no longer liable to the attack of dry
rot. The albumen aid salts are slowly dis
solved out, thus depriving the fungus of the
nutrimcnt needful for its development. A
French experimenter has shown that fresh
sawdust rots away in few years in damp
earth, whereas sawdust from which the
soluble matters have been soaked by water
remains unchanged under like circumstances.

The invention of a new optical glass is said
to he creating sensation in the German
scientific world. The glass, owing to its great
refra"ting power, promises to be of marked
influence III practical optics, inasnuch as it
will admit of the production of lenses Of short
width, such as it has hitherto been impossible
to obtain. For microscopic photography it

FIG :. HEAT CoNDuCTIvITY OF METALS.
This experiment can be performed in
more remarkable manner. Take cambric
handkerchief and cover a gas burner with it.
1t is Indispensable that the tip of the latter
shall lie of metal. If the cock be turned on
and the gas be lighted the latter will burn
above the handkerchief without harming it
Zig O. In order to succeed in this expert
ment it is necessary that the handkerchief
shall be applied closely to the metal, and that
there shall be no wrinkles in it where it
covers the tip of the burner. 1t is well to
hold it in position by means of fine copper
wire, as shown in the figure. In these expert
ments we would recommend our readers to
use nothing but very fine cambric, and that
which is not of service, so that they will not

FIG. l. HEAT CoNDUCTIvITY OF METALS
Upon the ball thus covered place glowing
coal taken from the fire with pair Of tongs,
and then blow on the coal, in order to render
it incnndescent. The coal will continue to
burn brightly without in any way burning or
damaging the fabric upon which it lies The
reason of this is that the metal being ali tx-
cellent conductor of heat, and having, at the
same time, great calorific capacity, absorbs
all the heat developed by the combustion Of
the coal, and the fabric, taking up scarcely
any of the heat, remains during the entire
experiment at temperature less than that at
which it would be harmed.
